Flash Gordon 1954 - 1955 Opening and Closing Theme (With Snippets)

Loads more TV Themes at: teeveesgreatest...
Flash Gordon is a science fiction television series based on the characters of the Alex Raymond-created comic strip of the same name. Diverging from the storyline of the comics, the series set Flash, Dale Arden and Dr. Zarkov in the year 3203. As agents of the Galactic Bureau of Investigation, the team travels the galaxy in their ship the Sky Flash, battling cosmic villains under the order of Commander Paul Richards.
The series was filmed in West Berlin[1] and Marseille[2] as a West German, French and American co-production by Intercontinental Television Films and Telediffusion. The series aired in syndication throughout most of the U.S. but also aired on the east coast on the DuMont Television Network.
The series proved popular with American audiences and critical response, though sparse, was positive. Flash Gordon has garnered little modern critical attention. What little there is generally dismisses the series, although there has been some critical thought devoted to its presentation of Cold War and capitalist themes.

When I was a kid I would never miss this show. We even played Flash Gordon in the yard with the neighors

I prefer the "Flash Gordon" from 1936 with Buster Crabbe.

John Smith that's what I was looking for, never even knew about this one. Crabbe version is untouchable...

I researched this series on IMDB. There was no Ming the Merciless in the series. How could you have Flash Gordon w/o Ming?

Artistic license. This series for German TV did not follow the creator's original storyline. This is far into the future.

The title sequence at the beginning of this show is what inspired George Lucas for the now iconic intro for Star Wars
